Jan issue (turbo'd x-flow)

[S2 Dee]

Just read the first part of Ben M’s turbo’d x-flow feature. Now I am not a fan of turbos but this is a brilliant feature. Just the kind of article I love in a car mag, going down a less trodden path, (and on a budget) can’t wait to see what the outcome is. Keep it up it is great to see something a little different.

IIRC The Zakspeed turbo capri used a turbo on a production kent crossflow block to get 500bhp (perhaps it was more?) in the 1700cc and also silly power out of the 1400 too. The head was a specially made twin cam job I think.
